Chapter 120: Lost History
After speaking, Benzoin turned around and distributed the medicine to Gu Feng, Li Zhaonian and Tang Hualong, who walked out in turn.
"Don't swallow it, swallow it." Benzoin sat there and took one in his mouth, "Because I haven't eaten for too long, it's just because I drink water, that's why it's like this." ”
Tang Hualong looked at the beach in the distance: "I want to go to the sea to fish and have a good time now." ”
Benzoin immediately said, "It's okay to fish, but you can't eat a good meal, unless you want to die." ”
Benzoin found Gu Feng sitting there in a daze at this time, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Gu, what's wrong with you?" ”
Gu Feng came back to his senses, shook his head, and then turned his gaze to Tang Anshu, who was sitting not far away, looking outside in a daze: "Tang Anshu? ”
Tang Anshu didn't answer, but looked ahead blankly.
Gu Feng instructed: "Li Zhaonian, Tang Hualong, you go out to investigate, see what kind of place this is, and get some food by the way, Ah Xiang, you go with them, their ability to distinguish food is not as good as yours." ”
Benzoin knew that Gu Feng was going to break her up, although she was reluctant, she had no choice but to say, "Okay, I know." ”
When the three of them walked towards the outside of the sea cave, Gu Feng got up and walked to Tang Anshu and sat down.
Tang Anshu looked at the backs of the three people who went away, and finally turned his head to look at Gu Feng and said, "You have seen them all, right?" ”
Gu Feng nodded: "It seems that you have seen them all." ”
"What about the three of them?" Tang Anshu raised his head and asked the three Benzoin who were far away, "Have you seen them all?" ”
Gu Feng shook his head: "No, when they came down, Li Zhaonian and Tang Hualong were a little dizzy, and like Ah Xiang, they closed their eyes." ”
"It seems that only you know Jinling Jane's secret." After Tang Anshu finished speaking, he smiled, "What?" Once you know the real secret, what are you going to do? Are you ready to let me go? Or take me back to Sun San for an errand? ”
Gu Feng was not surprised by Tang Anshu's speculation: "When the marshal gave the order, I told him that you must be able to deduce his intentions, and sure enough." ”
"From the perspective of the overall situation, I agree with Sun San's approach of killing people and destroying people." Tang Anshu was not nervous at all, "Don't say it's him, even in my eyes, the earth is a group of dangerous people, however, I believe he also told you, if he can deal with Jinling Jian's secret, then kill me to reduce the threat in the future, after all, I am Hu Shen's apprentice, otherwise, leave me and help you solve the problem." ”
After listening to this, Gu Feng said: "So, after I knew the truth, I breathed a sigh of relief, because it was a difficult problem that Dashuai and I couldn't solve, so I wouldn't have to do anything to you." ”
Tang Anshu said with a smile: "If you compare marksmanship, you may not be my opponent, but if you compare kung fu, I will become your sword ghost within twenty moves." ”
Gu Feng smiled and said again: "What now?" I didn't expect Jinling Jian to be so terrifying, if this place is found by others and used for war, let alone the living, a large area of land will be left without grass. ”
Tang Anshu nodded slightly, recalling everything he saw in the cave, he didn't expect at all that the secret was composed of murals, and when people fell from the cave quickly, the original individual patterns in front of him would be connected together because they were connected together, and they would become scenes connected together.
Although the picture is not long, it is enough to explain the origin of Jinling Jane.
"Judging from those successive patterns, everything originated during the Mongol expedition to the west, and it was at that time that the corpse wind was born, but it was not a natural disaster, the cause was from that mouse-like animal." Tang Anshu recalled carefully, "I always feel familiar when I look at that mouse pattern, and I seem to have seen it somewhere." ”
"Sea rats." Gu Feng looked at Tang Anshu, "Do you think it looks like a sea rat?" ”
After being reminded by Gu Feng, Tang Anshu suddenly remembered: "Yes, it does look like a sea rat, but there is a certain difference with a sea rat, the body is not as big as a sea rat, but the tail is longer than a sea rat." ”
Gu Feng continued: "When I saw the mouse pattern, my first reaction was the sea rat, from those continuous patterns, there is no doubt that the disease of corpse wind originated from that kind of steppe mouse, and the Mongolian army was infected because of eating the meat of the steppe mouse, but they didn't know that the tail of the steppe mouse was the antidote." ”
The rampant wind caused the Mongol army to drop to its lowest point in combat effectiveness, but in order to quickly break the city, the Mongol army threw the corpses of the sick and dead soldiers directly into the city with trebuchets.
This method was vicious, but it was very effective, and in just ten days, the remaining living mouths in the enemy city were completely unable to organize any effective defense, and just as they were about to surrender the city, the Mongol army, which had been preparing to break the city, retreated.
The main reason for the retreat of the Mongol army was that it could not cure the corpse wind, which was regarded as a terminal illness at the time, and the secondary reason was that there was another strange incident in the army.
The sudden strange things in the Mongolian army are also caused by the steppe rats, because of the lack of food in the army, the enemy city can not be attacked, and the soldiers can only find their own military rations, although the military doctor has found out that the meat of the steppe rats will be infected after eating, but because of hunger, some soldiers still secretly dig out the dried meat of those steppe rats hidden earlier to satisfy their hunger.
The soldiers who ate the jerky then began to go berserk, killing people when they saw them with weapons in their hands, attacking with their bare hands when their weapons were broken, and even if they were tied, they would open their mouths to bite the people around them.
At the same time, others contaminated with the blood and bodily fluids of these soldiers will also suffer from this madness for a short time, lose their minds, and will not only attack everything they see in sight, but also attack each other until one side dies.
The Mongol army used to break off the army also found that a similar thing had happened in the enemy city that was about to become a dead city, but they did not suffer from the same madness because they ate the dried meat of the steppe mouse, but because some people were injured by the claws of the steppe mouse.
A Mongolian military doctor, who was too ill to catch up with the brigade, accidentally discovered that after detaining the soldiers with the maniac and those suffering from corpse wind for a night, the soldiers who had the mania were cured.
The medic later discovered that the cure for the madness was to have the patient infected with necrogenous wind.
However, in this way, the person is not crazy, but he falls down again, and the question returns to the original point - how to heal the corpse wind?
How exactly is the corpse wind cured? The medic died after leaving his doubts, but left his complete record of the war on the disease to his apprentice.
Time flies, to the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Liu Futong led the Red Turban Army in the Central Plains after the uprising, all over the unveiled pole, have responded, Hubei Xu Shouhui, Jiangsu Zhang Shicheng, Anhui Guo Zixing and so on, a few years later, the rebel army has almost occupied the south of the Yellow River, the original four major forces, although Guo Zixing has died, but the position has been inherited by Zhu Yuanzhang, who later became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang did not have a large rear in the fundamental sense, but fortunately, most of the Yuan army was resisted by the Red Turban Army led by Liu Futong, otherwise he would not have lasted long. Zhu Yuanzhang chose and chosen, and finally chose Jiankang, which was later Nanjing, as his base.
After Zhu Yuanzhang gained a firm foothold, he began to seek to annex other forces and eventually dominate the world.
At this time, a refuge man came with a parchment map to offer treasure, saying that the map was snatched by accident from a group of Yuan soldiers, and that many rebels were sacrificed for this, because those Yuan soldiers swore to protect the map to the death, and their martial arts were good, so the person thought that what was recorded on the parchment must be the location of the treasure of the Yuan Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang was skeptical about this, because there were too many people who offered treasures at that time, and there were many people who donated maps, and most of the locations marked on the maps were in Mongolia, so Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that many people offered treasures just to ask for food, but after all, it was the time of employing people, no matter what was sent, they would receive it in full, and they would have to express their gratitude.
"This person who offered the treasure is none other than Hu Weiyong, one of the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty, but later rebelled and failed." After Tang Anshu finished speaking, he thought about it again, "When he offered the treasure, it should be the second year for him to take refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang." ”
Gu Feng was puzzled: "What we see is only a continuous pattern, and there is no text, how did you guess?" ”
Tang Anshu explained: "The costumes of those sergeants on the pattern, as well as clear historical events, for example, the reason why I know that person is Hu Weiyong is not that I knew it from the beginning, but in the later pattern, it is not recorded that a person fell ill, and the person who offered the treasure went to send medicine to visit?" ”
Gu Feng shook his head: "What do you mean?" ”
"According to historical records, Liu Ji's death was caused by Hu Weiyong's poisoning, but there are also records in the history books that Zhu Yuanzhang visited Liu Ji at that time, Liu Ji is so smart and has always been on guard against Hu Weiyong, if Hu Weiyong wants to start, he can't guess it, so many people in later generations believe that Liu Ji's death was instructed by Zhu Yuanzhang to do it, or rather, it was Hu Weiyong who bewitched the emperor." Tang Anshu sighed, "No matter what, the treasure giver is Hu Weiyong, and the person who found out the location of the treasure is Liu Ji." ”
Liu Ji was thoughtful, he sent people to study the maps that were offered, and found that most of them were fake, because the forgers could be said to barely understand the map, thinking that they could be deceived by finding a few decent painters and drawing a few landscapes.
However, among the many maps, Liu Ji found the parchment map sent by Hu Weiyong, because the texture of the map is very old, and the words on it are all in Uighur, and the most important thing is that the location marked on this map is in the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, that is, the capital of the Yuan Dynasty at that time.
What could be marked on this map? Liu Ji has always been concerned about this matter, but later because of the Northern Expedition to attack the Yuan, the matter was put on hold, until Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed the emperor, the Northern Expedition ended the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, and recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun, Liu Ji sent people to find the "treasures" on it according to the map.
When the people sent by Liu Ji found the location, they found that it was an ancient tomb that had been visited by tomb robbers countless times, and there was almost nothing left, and it was a Song tomb, which was the yin residence of a certain powerful person in the Daimyo Mansion at that time.
Is this weird? Why does the map point to this place, and those soldiers are still sworn to protect it? So Liu Ji began to thoroughly investigate the ancient tomb on the one hand, and on the other hand, he found Hu Weiyong and asked him about the situation when he grabbed the map.
Hu Weiyong found the leader of the army at that time, and according to the leader's recollection, Liu Ji thought that the team they ambushed at that time should be the elite of the Yuan army - Tanmachi.
